Here are some of the sheets, videos and resources I use in my Media Unit. The objective is understanding the role media plays in our lives. The unit culminates with evaluating super bowl commercials in February. I usually start this unit in January.
I use this as a simple survey to help the kids understand their "media habits" . They like this survey and get excited to see if their ansrs are right or wrong: It is also online here: http://www.pbs.org/teachers/media_lit/quiz.html
And finally here is the website I use to show the Commercials. I hyperlink each commercial to a wiki so they are choosing ones I have previewed. They can access any one of them, but I have a talk with them about steering clear of beer and explicit commercials.
